BOINC transitioning to a Community Based Governance... http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=10370 David Anderson wrote: BOINC's funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation has ended, at least for the time being. This funding supported me, Rom Walton, and Charlie Fenton. We're now working on other things, although we'll stay involved in BOINC at some level. The BOINC project will continue, and will be run according to a community-based model rather than centrally. In essence, the people who contribute to BOINC now make the decisions about it. This model is summarized here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/ProjectGovernance and described in detail here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C6pU5RqidYBxk9oyAevm1yH1tn4Hw27oM8YpvsnR-gg There will probably be little visible change. The BOINC software will continue to work. The translation system, Alpha testing project, BOINC web site,message boards, and email lists will continue to operate. However, any new development and major bug fixes to BOINC will need to be done by volunteer programmers. I'm confident that the BOINC community will meet the challenge. I welcome your feedback. Please post it to boinc_admin@googlegroups.com, a new email list for discussions about the BOINC project as a whole. -- David |

Yes, I got this info through mail list but I thing this will have no/minimal impact on us (volunteers and project admins). Krzysztof 'krzyszp' Piszczek Member of Radioactive@Home team My Patreon profile Universe@Home on YT |

Hi Kryzstof, Welcome back! I was doing it more for the populace as it's not well-known unless you are on the BOINC mailing list or a tester. I'm hoping personally that in the future BOINC can provide a central hub of resources for project admins both in administration and coordination/sharing of resources... |

I think most required informations are available on BOINC site as I use it successfully for quite long time :) Krzysztof 'krzyszp' Piszczek Member of Radioactive@Home team My Patreon profile Universe@Home on YT |
